Side-sealed and delivered

A manufacturer of crown molding invests in a horizontal shrink wrapper that delivers better protective packaging and tamper evidence.

For Canamould Extrusions Inc., a Toronto-based manufacturer of exterior moldings and decorative trim for homes, business kicked into high gear with the March introduction of an 8’-long crown molding product. It has proven so popular that customers are purchasing them faster than they can be made. To protect moldings during local and international shipping, Canamould turned to distributor Doverco (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).

Canamould’s long-time relationship with Doverco led to the purchase of a horizontal shrink wrapper with rotary side and end sealer from Clamco (Cleveland, OH). The product is placed in a 6”Wx8’L open-faced corrugated box that is then hand-fed into the wrapper’s infeed section. The machine wraps film down around the product and heat seals one side as well as both ends.
